Its Not

Tom: Am

C                      Am                    Em
I keep going round and round on the same old circuit
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot
     F                 Em                 Am
When something I can't see interrupts the current
      F                 G              Am  Asus4 Am
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
      F             Em7                   Am    Am7
And from behind the screen it can look so perfect
          F   C  G/B
But it's not
    C                     Am                  Em
So here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light
I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what
   F              Em                 Am
So red turns into green turning into yellow
     F              G                    Asus4 Am
But I'm just frozen here in the same old spot
     F            Em7                Am    Am7
And all I have to do is to press the pedal
          F  C  G/B
But I'm not
         Am  F  Cmaj7  E7
But I'm not

Am                 F          C       G/B
People are tricky you can't afford to show 
Anything risky anything they don't know
     F         C         E7            Am G F
The moment you try - I'll kiss it goodbye

   C                   Am                Em
So baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator
and let me fall into the dream of the astronaut
     F               Em7                    Asus4 Am7
For I'll get lost in space that goes on forever
    F                   G                  Asus4  Am7
And you'll make all the rest just an afterthought
       F              Em7                   Asus4   Am7
And I'll believe it's you who could make it better
             F  C G/B
Though it's not
        Am F C Em
No it's not
         Am F C
No it's not
